Amitabh Bachchan is all set to take the fiction world of Indian television by storm by acting and co-producing a show for Sony Entertainment Television. Big B has joined hands with ace director Anurag Kashyap for this finite fiction series.

Anurag Kashyap will be directing the series. Endemol India will be the co-produce the serial along with senior Bachchan under the banner Saraswati Creations (which had earlier produced Dekh Bhai Dekh).

During the channel’s press conference held for the show, Big B was quizzed by media on his decision of getting into the gruelling hours of work on TV as actor at the age of 71, and he with a broad smile acknowledged saying, “It is a new challenge to work for 18 hours at a stretch and I am gearing up for it. I hardly discussed about this decision of mine with my family.”
